Wanderlust Travel Magazine|March/April 2021
Twenty-one BIG trips to take in 2021 (when we’re allowed) that pack a powerful punch – from spotting the largest, rarest creatures to travelling far and wild, to going experientially intense or the furthest back in time

1 Go LONG…

Travel South America overland

Got annual leave to burn and a love of all things Latin? Now’s the time for that South American odyssey. Whether you choose to hop around on public transport, board an overland truck or do a mix of both, the route options are almost infinite; expect border hold-ups, landslides and bumpy roads, serendipitous encounters, warm camaraderie, and breathtaking diversity. Allow six months to make a comprehensive circuit, taking in everything from the Colombian coast to the Amazon jungle, Inca ruins, Andean highlands, Argentinian pampa, and a Brazilian carnival spirit.

Or how about… Cairo to Cape Town, another continent-spanning adventure, doable in around four months by overland truck or reeeally long cycle (the annual Tour d’Afrique covers 11,000km).

2 Go HIGH…

Climb Kilimanjaro the slow way

Summiting Africa’s highest peak is a once-in-a-lifetime challenge, so do it properly. Rather than rushing to the top (and risking not making it at all), use the Northern Circuit route, which spends nine days on the mountain (as opposed to a more common five or six), allowing more time for acclimatization. The Northern Circuit is by far the quietest trail too – around 2% of Kili climbers use it – but has one of the highest success rates and arguably the best views: starting from the westerly Londorossi Gate, the route heads clockwise around Kili’s little-visited northern slopes to approach the 5,895m summit from the east, looping right around the mountain.
